Client experiences

“…David offers something which is truly unique.  He works with a deeply felt care for senior executives and the company situation, and I can unhesitatingly recommend his services in situations where senior executives are facing professional challenges and where there is a genuine wish on their part to explore new ways forward.”
Rod Scarth. Group Organisational Development Director, Grand Met

“I first met David when I became the Chief Investment Officer for Schroders mutual funds business. The time that I spent with David from my mid-thirties onwards was one of those very rare defining events in my life. David has a fantastic ability to read people but, even more potently, to use a wide range of skills and intuition to help you realise how you come across to others, what your motivations, strengths and weaknesses are, and how to go about developing those areas that need attention. At times challenging, but always enlightening, David has helped many people to grow. I will be forever grateful for the impact that his wisdom has had on me. To my mind he is a world class coach.”
David Gasparro. Partner, Private Equity

“Some of the specific, tangible big wins: Initially they were all work related – having faith in myself, my style, my judgment, my actions; providing stronger leadership; achieving significant commercial profile and success; actually enjoying my professional life much, much more. Now they are broader, and somehow more underlying – being calmer and more mature in reactions to everything; being more patient with my children, husband and others; finding more confidence from within and not feeling so ruled by external events, individuals or comments; choosing how to spend my time and energy with more wisdom; having more energy and an infectious, positive attitude.”
